Acupuncture is gaining popularity in the pediatric world because it offers safe and effective treatment to many childhood illnesses. Asthma, allergies, ear infections, coughs, colds, tummy troubles, ADHD, and anxiety are just a few things acupuncture can help with. As with all acupuncture, I strive to treat the root cause while effectively eliminating symptoms and restoring your child's natural healing abilities.
What if my child is scared of needles?
Acupuncture generally uses very fine “pins” to stimulate acupuncture points, however, there are many non-needle techniques such as massage, acupressure, aroma point therapy, gua sha, cupping and a painless micro current. My number one goal is to build trust with your child so they will NEVER be forced into trying any method that they are uncomfortable with.
What is a treatment like?
Your child's complete health history will be taken into consideration including, but not limited to, physical health, diet, sleep, environment, toxic load, and emotional well being. I will treat your child with whatever methods we agree upon and guide your homecare such as dietary changes, Chinese pediatric massage, and aroma point therapy.
